Objective: Describe the different therapeutic modalities of glottic stenosis due to Wegener's granulomatosis. Material and method: We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with a glottic localization of Wegener's granulomatosis. Clinical case: Mr. AB presented a laryngeal dyspnea on a laryngeal stenosis due to a Wegener's disease with renal, cutaneous, naso-sinus, and glottic localization. A life-saving tracheostomy was performed first. The medical treatment allowed a regression of all the lesions. . Two months after starting treatment, the patient is stable and the laryngeal stenosis no longer affects the patient's daily activities. Conclusion: The appearance of upper respiratory symptoms in may be indicative of Wegener's disease and should alert and seek for laryngo-tracheal stenosis. Intralesional corticosteroid injection is a recent and less invasive method than dilation. It seems to give satisfactory results. Sometimes a tracheostomy is necessary.
